Hey Lara,
I can't say for sure without really looking at your machine but the best thing would be to show your puter problem to a professional or even someone who can figure it out without ripping it apart.
I would definately scan the computer with your current anti virus. Make sure you download updates before you scan the computer.
As for spywares, I've found Spybot and Adaware to be pretty good. You would need both because some spywares that Spybot doesn't detect, Adaware can, and vice versa.
You can get spybot by searching on www.tucows.com
and Adaware can be found at www.lavasoft.de
